Lesson outcome
I can explain how Sheers presents a change in the speaker’s romantic relationship with another person.
Show transcript
Sheers depicts a relationship which is initially fragmented as the couple are physically and emotionally separated.
By the end of the poem the couple have salvaged their relationship and are reunified.
The inconsistent form followed by a final couplet could mirror the changing status of the relationship.
The setting at the start of the poem reflects the couples despairing and hopeless emotions.
The poem is from a wider collection entitled 'Skirrid Hill' which means 'shattered mountain'.
